English utterances normally carried new information in the predicate.

In English, utterances generally convey new information in the predicate, which forms the core of the communicative structure. The subject usually represents known or given information, while the predicate introduces new or focal information. This distribution aligns with the principle of information structure in English, which operates based on topic-comment or theme-rheme organization. The predicate, as the rheme, introduces the information that advances the discourse.

### The Structure of English and Information Distribution
The structure of English sentences follows a subject-verb-object (SVO) pattern, which impacts how information is structured. The subject is often assumed to be known to the listener or reader, while the predicate provides additional details, making it the primary carrier of new information. This characteristic is particularly evident in declarative sentences, which follow the natural flow of English discourse.

For instance, in the sentence:

"The cat is sleeping on the sofa."  

- "The cat" (subject) is typically assumed to be known or identifiable within the discourse.  
- "is sleeping on the sofa" (predicate) provides new information, specifying the action and location.  

This pattern is a key feature of English information structure, where the predicate serves as the carrier of novel content.

### Given and New Information
The distinction between given and new information is essential in analyzing how utterances function in English. Given information refers to elements that are already known, assumed, or previously mentioned in the discourse. New information, on the other hand, introduces unfamiliar content that requires attention.

Consider the following example:

1. "John _______ __________ _________ __________ ______ _________ ____.
____ ___ _____ _____ __________ ____ __________ __________ ____.
______ ____ _____ ____ _____ ______.
_______ __________ ________ _________ ______.
